18 Perdigon Nymph Selection – Tungsten Bead Head Trout Flies

A collection of 18 tungsten bead head Perdigon nymphs designed for getting down quickly and targeting trout feeding near the bottom.

Description

Capt. Ken’s 18 Perdigon Nymph Selection gives you a versatile assortment of one of the most effective styles of modern trout nymphs. Each fly features a tungsten bead head to help it sink quickly and reach the feeding zone, even in deeper runs and faster currents.

Perdigons are known for their slim, streamlined profiles and efficient sink rate. Their compact design makes them especially useful when trout are holding close to the bottom or feeding in current where getting your fly down quickly is essential.

This selection of 18 tungsten bead head Perdigons provides a range of patterns to help you adapt to changing water conditions and trout preferences.

Why We Fish Perdigons

Getting a nymph into the trout's feeding zone is often the key to success. The tungsten bead adds weight without requiring a bulky fly, while the streamlined body helps the pattern cut through the water efficiently.

Perdigons are excellent choices for tight-line and Euro nymphing, but they can also be fished with a conventional indicator setup.

When to Fish It

Use these nymphs throughout the trout season, particularly when fishing deeper runs, pocket water, and faster currents. They are useful whenever trout are feeding near the bottom and you need a fly that gets down quickly.

How to Fish It

Fish the Perdigons close to the bottom with a controlled drift. They work especially well in tight-line and Euro nymphing rigs, where you can maintain contact and detect subtle takes. They can also be fished as part of a weighted nymph rig under an indicator.

Adjust your weight, depth, and drift to keep the flies in the feeding zone without constantly hanging up.
